*Superfine sugar, AKA caster sugar is NOT powdered sugar. It is sugar with finer granules than regular granulated sugar and can usually be found in your grocery store's baking aisle in a box or can be ordered from Amazon. If you don't have superfine sugar, you can easily make your own by running regular granulated sugar through your blender or food processor for about 30 seconds.
The amount of buttercream listed is just enough to decorate the cupcakes the way I did here. If you want big swirls you will have to double the recipe, though I find less buttercream is preferable as the sweetness can overpower these cupcakes.
Also, this is pure butter buttercream, which means it will melt if left too long in a hot environment!

These are divine. Despite the few tweaks I made (added coconut egg jam, strawberry preserves, etc.), the cupcakes turned out beautifully. In the words of my sister, who is completely wild about them: “Buttery, feathery, so soft...”
This recipe is a 10-star, if I could. Addictive, fluffy, melts-in-your-mouth, and a taste of Heaven on earth.
Thank YOU.
I’m going to make these the next time my granddaughter and I have tea. It’s one of her favorite things to do. I am going to try cherry and plum jam. Thank you!
I stumbled across this recipe when my 7 year old daughter asked if we could bake a Victoria sponge. I really fancied cupcakes and here I am!
They are currently in the oven. I made 17 in muffin cases.
So glad you enjoyed your stay in our country!
Victoria sponges make regular appearances in our house!
My home city is is Oxford, so I’m so glad you cycled around. Hope you looked up, the architecture is incredible here!
I tried only the sponge cupcakes(without the buttercream) and it turned out WONDERFUL. I used it with whipped cream icing and it was a HIT!
Did you make this recipe?
